It&#39;s a 630 foot jump at about 75 miles an hour.&#160; <strong>Should I do it???</strong><br /><strong><br />Send me a comment and give me your vote!&#160;</strong> Planning on it tomorrow.&#160; I await your decision! <br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div><br /></div> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://ampitup.vox.com/library/post/hello-from-auckland-new-zealand-risk-taking-down-under.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00d09e47c089be2b00e398aa0e390002?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> new zealand auckland skytower risk comfort zone skyjump
